A mixture of N-{4-cyano-2-nitro-6-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]phenyl}acetamide (5.5 g, 17.7 mmol, STEP 2) and iron powder (2.96 g, 53.0 mmol) in acetic acid (90 mL) was refluxed with stirring for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuum. The residue was poured into water, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate/methanol (20:1). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuum to afford the title compound as a brown solid (3.82 g, 82%).
